The Dilemma and Path of Intelligent Elderly Care Services

Abstract

As the aging population deepens, the smart elderly care services have attracted attention due to their potential for efficiency and convenience. However, privacy security, ethical security, and personal security issues occur frequently, and the existing research has insufficient exploration of multi-dimensional security collaborative governance, resulting in research importance and gaps. This study focuses on the three major dilemmas of privacy, ethics, and personal safety in smart elderly care, using the indirect method to analyze policy texts, sort out typical security incident cases, systematically analyze the causes of problems and explore solutions. The study found that privacy security faces risks such as excessive data collection and rough storage management; Ethical security has problems such as algorithmic decision-making replacing human care and blurred guardianship boundaries; Personal safety is threatened by the equipment failure and the absence of emergency response mechanisms, and these three factors are intertwined, hindering the promotion of smart elderly care.
